| The sketch above is one I created myself. I thought it applied to the book as a symbol of pursue your goals; like the expression, "reach for the stars." Christopher McCandless was an idealistic young man. He had goals of vanishing from society to pursue a life of ultimate freedom and purity. This hand holding the sun expresses people have the ability to do things larger than life, so to speak. Some people say, "Get your head out of the clouds," I think that should be embraced; It's okay to wonder, to explore, to have a creative imagination. Continue to work for your goals, whatever they may be, and when you get there, grasp on to that gleaming light of faith, and never let go. |
